Distribute(d) trust – The key to global encryption access

For many vulnerable Internet users, the Tor network is the only way to gain access to encrypted services. It's made possible by relay operators, the thousands of volunteers who donate their time, technical expertise, and hardware. Join us for a roundtable discussion with individual and institutional relay operators to learn more about the ins and outs of powering a safer, more equitable internet.

We invite you to get to know some of Tor’s dedicated volunteer relay operators. For a deeper look at the motivations and challenges of this community, we will speak with two researchers, Ana Custura and Victoria Neumann, who will share findings from their recent study on the Relay Operator Community Health. Then, we’ll hear directly from a group of individual and institutional relay operators to learn more about the ins and outs of powering a safer, more equitable internet.
